Healthy! Capital Counties has released the 2025–2027 Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP), a strategic, community-driven strategy that outlines measurable actions to improve health and well-being across Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham counties. The plan turns the findings of the 2024 Community Health Assessment (CHA) into focused, collaborative efforts for the next three years. 

This is the region’s second joint CHIP, developed through an ongoing partnership between the Barry-Eaton District Health Department, Ingham County Health Department, and Mid-Michigan District Health Department. The 2025 CHIP emphasizes health equity, policy, social well-being, and long-term community action. 

The plan addresses three priority areas identified in the 2024 CHA: Access to Care, Behavioral Health, and Housing. To address these priorities, 23 community partners have committed to implementing 73 activities throughout the Tri-County region. 

The CHIP acts as a shared roadmap that helps health departments, partners, and community members work together toward a healthier, more equitable future. Healthy! Capital Counties encourages all residents and partners to stay engaged and support this collective effort to improve the health of the community, together.
